The Reds gained revenge for their defeat in the League Cup Final over the weekend, with goals from Adam Lallana, James Milner and Roberto Fimino securing all three points that keep them in with a chance of qualifying for Europe.

City never got into the game, and it was proof that, on their day, Jurgen Klopp’s men can match any side in the Premier League.

The win was Liverpool’s 11th of the season, moving them into eight place on 41 points. They are one point behind Stoke City, although they have a game in hand, and if they win that the Reds will be just three points off the top four.

There is a belief that they are getting better with every passing game, and Klopp is appearing to have a real impact upon the side now.

They are not a realistic title challenging side in their current state, and the summer transfer window will be key if the Reds want to get to the top of the Premier League table next season.

Riise watched the game, and saw his former side dominate a team full of expensive stars, and he has expressed his love for the club.

It is clear Liverpool are on the rise, and anyone involved with the Merseyside giants myst be delight right now.
